Key result
A preoperative briefing protocol improved peer-assessed OR teamwork behaviors and eliminated the pre-protocol discrepancy where individuals overestimated their teamwork (5.63 vs 5.29, P<0.0267).

p-value: p=<0.0267
Implementing a preoperative briefing protocol improves operating room staff teamwork behaviors and the accuracy of their self-assessments.
Paige et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Operating room teamwork (n=10). Preoperative briefing protocol vs. Pre-protocol standard practice was evaluated on Mean scale score of teamwork behavior evaluations (self- and peer-assessments) (p=<0.0267). A preoperative briefing protocol improved peer-assessed OR teamwork behaviors and eliminated the pre-protocol discrepancy where individuals overestimated their teamwork (5.63 vs 5.29, P<0.0267).
